Three Ways to Improve Your Healthy Routines
Special to The Truth
When you feel strong
nothing can hold you back. From building your muscles to
strengthening your mind and conditioning your body, every
day you strive towards looking and feeling healthy in the
truest sense.
Here are some tips that
will help to improve your long-term health.
Amp Up Your Workout
Don’t let your workout
routine get stale. Mix up your regularly scheduled program
to work different muscles and ward off workout boredom.
Take time to regularly
evaluate your fitness regimen and make sure you’re spending
enough time on improving your endurance, strength and
flexibility.
For instance, training for
a big race? Shave a few miles from your long run and
supplement it with a bike ride. And, switch up non-cardio
days with a barre, yoga or Pilates class.
Also, don’t forget to
carve out time to warm up with dynamic stretches before your
workout and deep stretches afterward. Get out a foam roller
to stretch and massage your muscles to keep them limber.
Using a foam roller will help to increase the range in
motion of your muscles, which can help prevent injuries
during future workouts.
Smile With Strength
Oral health is an
essential part of staying healthy in the long-term.
Strengthening and repairing your enamel from everyday wear
and tear can be part of your daily personal health routine.
Similar to how
moisturizing lotions and conditioners replenish skin and
hair, by brushing with toothpaste such as Colgate Enamel
Health Mineral Repair Toothpaste twice daily, you can help
strengthen weakened enamel by replenishing it with vital
minerals. This toothpaste replenishes natural calcium and
other minerals back into weakened enamel, for stronger,
healthy enamel. More information about Enamel Health
toothpaste can be found at colgateenamelhealth.com.
Fuel Your Body
Give your body the fuel
and energy it needs to keep you strong and healthy.
Start each morning with a
breakfast full of nutrients and protein to set a good tone
for the rest of the day. Make your mornings easier with
simple tricks like preparing overnight oats the night before
so you have no excuses to skip this crucial meal.
Stick to a healthy eating
plan with meal planning. Prepare as many lunches and dinners
for the week as you can on Sunday, before work and family
obligations get in the way.
Look to fill those meals
with a balance of lean meats and proteins, legumes, fruits
and vegetables, and healthy grains like brown rice and
quinoa.
A healthy balanced diet
will improve your energy level throughout the day and during
workouts. You should also make sure that you are hydrating
post-workout with water, or for an extra hydration boost,
try coconut water.
When you amp up these
aspects of your overall routine your body will feel the
difference and you will see the difference. Follow these
tips and you will feel stronger than ever.
